Learn english in Ireland with Maria

Welcome to Maria & Niall's country home

Hello,
My name is Maria and my husband's name is Niall. We live in the heart of county Waterford. I am a stay-at-home mother having worked in the Pharma industry for the last 10 years. Prior to that, I worked with teenagers with addictions in a residential treatment center for 5 years. My husband Niall works in Construction driving a Teleporter Machine. We have two children, Ben who is 5, and has ASD, and Ava who is 2 months away from turning 3. They love to play and watch cartoons. I like to go shopping, to the cinema, and meet up with family and friends.
We have hosted 5 students to date, 2 for three weeks, 2 for four weeks, and 1 for three months. All students loved our home and our children and plan to return to us for holidays. As a family, we like to eat meals together when we can and chat about the day.
We live in a remote bungalow house, 5 minutes from Aglish village, 3 minutes from Clashmore village, 20 minutes from Dungarvan town, and 15 minutes from Youghal Town. We are very close to a number of beaches. My family lives nearby; there are 4 nieces and 4 nephews of every age, so you will never be lonely, you will always have plenty of people around. All friends are made very welcome in our home for dinner or sleepovers, etc. We have strong internet too, so you can always contact your family at home and abroad.
We live in a very safe area; 5 minutes from our home are 3 GAA pitches, beauticians, and a hairdresser.
I am a lenient, kind-hearted person and we as a family enjoy having people around. We love to chat and hear about your cultures and values. We are very understanding, and I have a sympathetic ear if needed; we are very easy to talk to if you have any concerns.
Dungarvan is a vibrant town full of retail shops, lots of cafes & restaurants, a swimming pool, gyms, and tennis courts are nearby too. We have brilliant bus connections from Aglish to Dungarvan and to the bigger cities like Cork, Waterford & Dublin if you wish to go explore another part of Ireland during your time here with us.
We are very excited to be able to welcome you into our home. We hope your future days become memorable with us. You will start an exciting and happy phase in your life. We hope it will be a very remarkable place for you. I am sure you will learn various subjects, culture, and all other things. We hope you will feel at home in our home. You will become part of our family, and hopefully, you will have enjoyed your experience while visiting the beautiful Green Isle. I'm sure you will be a little bit Irish by the time you leave for home!!
